Encampment, Wyoming by Lora Webb Nichols

I first heard of this book via Alec Soth's YouTube channel (which is outstanding) and got a copy a few months ago. Jorg Colberg published a review today and it's worth a look. Everything about this book is excellent - the images, the story, the printing and presentation, everything.

"I wish there were a good term for this type of photography that has a foot in the vernacular and one foot in the arts."

Thank you... great review, exhaustive and passionate. Are you familiar with "Postcards from Mecca"?

I am familiar but only from an online review, which looked really good to me. But I don't have the book. Do you recommend it?

From your review i can see similarities... as you, missing "half the equation" it's hard to compare. I did enjoy the images and story.
